Chapter 9 The Town and the Girl
The dusk in early autumn still carried the enthusiasm of summer, but just as the cloud in the sky was wiped red, the sun hid in the horizon.The wind blowing by the ear carried the slight coolness, driving away the last sliver of summer heat. The shadows of the mountains in the distance became thicker and thicker, gradually blending into the night, and soon painted silver-gray by the moon.
Lin Can rode a horse leisurely on the wilderness. The maroon robe made him more handsome. In the past two days, he was obsessed with playing fan.
Good-looking is good-looking, but the people in the same company are either exchanging information or guarding the surroundings, all ignoring him.
Several rapidly approaching black spots appeared in the distance, and it was quickly seen that they were people who were going to find the way ahead.
The leader is Chu Zheng, who is carrying the Cloud Splitting Spear on his back. His flowing posture shows his skillful riding skills. For the sake of lightness, he only wears a turban on his head without a helmet. His face is full of beards. : What a great player.
Seeing the group of people getting closer, Lin Can inserted the fan obliquely into the collar behind his neck and urged the horse forward.
Chu Zheng just turned his face sideways and nodded to him as a salute, then followed the other knights towards the convoy.
Lin Can, who was left on the spot, was not angry either. He knew that although Chu Zheng had treated him like a king and minister, he didn't regard himself as the lord of the country in his bones, and he didn't care about it, so the two of them got along awkwardly. .
"Hey! Leader, wait for me!" When Lin Can rode back to the convoy, Chu Zheng had already dismounted and was looking at the map with the other leaders.When they first set off, these responsible persons reported to his master, but now it's a good thing, they all treat him as nothing.
Chu Zheng replied without turning his head: "Your Majesty's daughter should sit in the convoy. If I were the enemy, you would have been shot just now."
"Then why don't you give it a try?" Lin Can knew that what Chu Zheng said was right, and he thought it was him who was worried about him awkwardly, and looked at the map they were pointing at while talking.
"The convenience is Gu Cang Town, which can be reached within an hour." Chu Zheng pointed to Gu Cang Town and said, "Gu Cang Town is about three days away from the nearest entrance to Gu Cang Ancient Forest. The supplies we need It has to be filled out here."
Lin Can knew that the division of labor of each person in charge would be behind the scenes, and Chu Zheng had done a perfect job along the way, so he was happy and relaxed.In the early years, when Taifu Changyun was still alive, he sighed in front of people more than once: "If Your Majesty can be more diligent, my boundless country will usher in a once-in-a-thousand-year prosperity!"
Of course, the Boundless Kingdom is not bad now.
Several people quickly finished the meeting and arranged their own arrangements, and the team speeded up significantly.
No one can tell clearly when Gucang Ancient Forest existed, its area is immeasurable, and there are thousands of legends about it.Gucang Town is at the entrance of the valley. Originally, it was just a place for those who went into the mountain to hunt for treasure. After hundreds of years of accumulation, it has gradually developed into a small town with a permanent population of more than 100. However, this town is different from other towns. Different, it is surrounded by high walls.
There were a few strong men with fierce faces sitting at the door. Seeing the convoy approaching, one of them lazily stood up and shouted at them: "If you want to enter the town, two-legged ones are worth a tael of silver each, and four-legged ones are worth a tael each." Two taels of silver, ten taels of silver with a wheel. If you pay money and enter the door, there will be no credit."
"It's really dark!" Lin Can's eyes widened.
Hearing the movement, the strong man looked at him, and suddenly changed his expression: "Do you want this little lady disguised as a man to come and live with me? No money."
Amongst a group of burly men in the convoy, Lin Can is dressed in red and on a white horse, with phoenix eyes full of affection, and his brilliant blond hair is very dazzling in the moonlight. In addition, it is rare to see such a fair and handsome person in this town that hosts treasure hunters, so he will be mistaken for him. Dressing up as a man is also normal.
"Blind your dog eyes, I took it out and it's bigger than you!" Lin Can was so angry that he didn't care about his image.
Suddenly a laughter was heard in my ear.
"Ah."
Who dares to laugh at me?Lin Can turned his head and glared, just in time to meet Chu Zheng's smiling eyes.
Any anger is gone now.
The gatekeeper who misread Lin Canzhong knew he was wrong when he heard Lin Canzhong's angry scolding, but even if he was a man, he didn't mind that he was so good-looking. Just when he was about to continue making teasing words, Chu Zheng had already dismounted and walked over. Throw him a purse.
The gatekeeper subconsciously caught it, and when he opened it, he saw that it was full of golden beans. He knew that a big customer was coming, and then he saw that the whole group was Lianjiazi, and that little boy behaved like a nobleman, so he didn't cause trouble.
After entering the town, Lin Can realized that only the conscientious merchants collected the town fee. Apart from the air, there was no money here, but everything needed money, and all of them started with a tael of silver.But because Chu Zheng had a bag of golden beans at the door, the merchants inside were still very enthusiastic.
After one person and one guest room were all settled, Lin Can stopped Xiaoer who came to deliver water.
"It's autumn now, why are there so few people in the town, the people who went in earlier should have come out, right?" Lin Can knew that Gu Lin was weird recently, so he asked deliberately.
"Hi! There are strange things in this forest this year, and few people who go in come out. Although it is said that those who go in for treasure hunting are not afraid of death, but this year several veterans go in and they can't come out. The beautiful little girl who came a few months ago The lady didn't come out either, oh, that's a good-looking one. When I stare, my soul is going to fly, I'm sucking..."
Lin Can interrupted Xiao Er, he knew that Ling Er was most likely what he was talking about, and that guy liked to roll his eyes and stare at people, "What happened next?"
"Later, several waves of unfamiliar masters came into the forest. The identity of that little lady must not be simple. Those waves of people looked for her at first glance, but not many of them came back."
That's right.
Xiao Er saw that Lin Can was good-looking, so he took a few more glances and continued, "Guest officer, you should not go into the mountains, and come back next year to see what's going on. It's better than losing your life in vain."
After chasing away Xiao Er with shining eyes, Lin Can took a simple wash and fell asleep.
A night without dreams.
Putting on the clothes that are easy to move, and confirming that she is also in the same heroic posture today, Lin Can went downstairs in a good mood to join the crowd and prepare to set off into the mountain.
Walking downstairs, Lin Can saw a petite woman next to Chu Zheng's tall figure, and he was listening carefully to what the woman had to say with his head down.
"Lord Chu is so excited!" Lin Can inserted himself between the two of them calmly to say hello, shook his folding fan, turned his head and began to show charm to the woman: "I am Lin Can, may I ask the girl's name?"
When I got closer, I realized that it was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, with an eight-point appearance and a nine-point figure. A strange totem was drawn on the left face. She was shocked by her handsomeness, so she blushed.
Chu Zheng pulled Lin Can away and introduced, "This is our guide into the mountain, Mi'er."
Last night's Xiao Er didn't know when she came over to join in the fun: "Mi'er's family has been guides here for generations, so many people went in before, and all the people who came back were brought out by her."
Lin Can immediately put a suspicious label on Mi'er in his heart.
Led by Mi'er, the group set off on foot along the mountain road.
Although Lin Can does a little work on weekdays, he has never been left behind. Others carry their bags and rush on the road, and he still has time to weave a garland of soft branches picked up along the way and put it on his head.
Of course, as the head of a country, he definitely doesn't need to carry luggage.
When it was dark, there was already a mist in the mountain forest, and Mi'er found a dry place leeward of the wind, and signaled everyone to stop and rest.
"You can build a fire to keep warm. I'll set traps around. Don't run around." Mi'er blushed and didn't dare to look at Lin Can. After speaking, she turned and disappeared into the darkness.
Lin Can moved to Chu Zheng's side while drinking hot water, and asked in a low voice, "Chu Zheng, don't you think this Mi'er is weird?"
"I found her on purpose." Chu Zheng now only has a pair of eyes that can vaguely evoke Lin Can's amazing memory, and he explained: "The totem on her face belongs to an ancient nation called the Moon Clan.""
"How do you know? None of the king's people have found this." Lin Can made a note of Ling Yi in his heart.
"Before I set off, I lived in the Library Pavilion of your boundless country, and read the records about the ancient forest in the ancient warehouse. There is a fragmentary record that the people of the Moon Clan live here. They are not afraid of miasma, and they do not contact outsiders. , guarding something important." Chu Zheng saw that Lin Can was interested, so he told him everything he knew: "I guess, Gucang Town was established by this nation, and they couldn't stop the treasure hunters from coming in, so they Lead these people to act on their intentions."
"Arresting people directly will scare the snake, so we can only follow the trend," Lin Can continued: "If we can figure out a way to build a town, this Moon Clan will not be a barbaric nation, something must have happened! "
Chu Zheng knew that Lin Can was not stupid, and he was willing to share information with him. Maybe this unreliable npc could really get some clues.
"Since it is said that they are protecting something, then this accident must be related to the thing they guard. Eighty-nine people have disappeared one after another. What exactly are these people being arrested for?"
"Chu Huaian is still alive." Chu Zheng paused and decided to tell Lin Can this important information.
Lin Can knew that Chu Zheng wouldn't say anything he wasn't sure about, so he was a little curious: "Why are you so sure, do you Nite tribe still have a secret method of mutual induction?"
Of course, Chu Zheng couldn't say that it was because I hadn't failed the mission yet, so he turned on the bonfire, got up and led Lie Yun to a hidden guard who was sitting by the tree to make a mark.
Lin Can, who was left on the spot by Chu Zheng, knew that Chu Zheng didn't want to tell him the answer, and he couldn't lie, so he just left.He just gave up and ate some dry food with the hot water. If Mi'er hadn't repeatedly warned him not to wander around, he would have planned to look around for the scenery.
The bonfire made a crackling sound, and there were undulating sounds of insects and unknown beasts all around, but no one spoke anymore, and it became quiet here.
Lin Can rode a horse leisurely on the wilderness. The maroon robe made him more handsome. In the past two days, he was obsessed with playing fan.
Good-looking is good-looking, but the people in the same company are either exchanging information or guarding the surroundings, all ignoring him.
